KIN is a pulse-pounding crime thriller with a sci-fi twist that tells the story of an unexpected hero destined for greatness. Chased by a vengeful criminal (James Franco), the feds, and a gang of otherworldly soldiers, a recently released ex-con (Jack Reynor) and his adopted teenage brother (Myles Truitt) are forced to go on the run with a weapon of mysterious origin as their only protection.

Eli (Myles Truitt) is a 14-year-old, curious outsider adopted by a working class family. He lives alone with his dad until his brother, Jimmy, is released from prison and comes to stay with them. Eli is cautious but eager to trust his older brother when Jimmy suggests they go on a road trip across the country to their uncle’s cabin in Lake Tahoe.

Jimmy (Jack Reynor) is a recently released ex-con who has a strained relationship with his dad and barely knows his adopted younger brother, Eli. Once out of prison, Jimmy falls back into old habits and his involvement with a seedy criminal puts his whole family at risk. However, Jimmy will do anything to keep his brother safe and takes him on a cross-country road trip in order to protect him.

Taylor (James Franco) is small-time crime lord who has unfinished business with Jimmy. When Jimmy is released from prison, Taylor looks to collect on old debts and threatens Jimmy’s family in order to get him to pay up.

Milly (Zoë Kravitz) meets Jimmy and Eli in a bar while they’re on the run from Taylor, and quickly bonds with Eli. She recognizes that the brothers may be her ticket out of her current situation so she joins their road trip
